Very disappointed :(

Best movie of this year hands down!

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film has a reasonable premise with a girl graduating from college and looking to enter the job market in the writing field. It soon gets bogged down into other stories, some of which are inane.Michael Keaton plays the free spirited father who gets into trouble for selling items, not knowing that the latter were stolen. We never find out what happened there.Carol Burnett's part is essentially wasted as Keaton's mother, who hides her money all over the place. She tries to display her usual humor, but the writing here holds back her potential to create more in her role.The story comes down to commitment and following your ambitions.

The storyline, cast, scenery, and such are remedy for a decent product. The more I see it, the scenes are yes quirky but believably normal. Some comments I've heard about this is that the 1 star raring is deserved but I wish this film was reconsidered considering the content. The editing may have been off or something but the meat of the movie is charmingly comfortable to watch. The lines are great, don'tcha think? I'm keeping this as more of a discussion topic rather than an actual review. From the house, the family car, the boyfriend situation, the temptations lurking next door, the cat scene, I mean there are so many parts to this movie that is lovable.

I so wanted to like this film but I felt like I was watching two different movies, or I should say two different types of comedy. You have Alexis Bledel on one hand, who in my opinion, is better suited to a more sophisticated comedy (I mean, just watch any episode of Gilmore Girls and see how great she is) then you have Michael Keaton, Jane Lynch and Carol Burnett who are far more slapstick in their approach. Michael Keaton's acting and facial expressions tell me he still wishes he were doing Mr. Mom, not in itself a bad film, just wrong for this one. The only thing I liked was the fact that the script did not take the easy way out and she ended up with the right man. I watched this for Alexis, and will someone please write her a sophisticated screwball comedy so she can show what she can do?

This movie is fantastic, if you are a teenage girl... Which, I am not. So I found the movie to be rather dull and uninspiring. Sure there were aspects of the story that was good, but in overall, the movie just wasn't meant for me.Though labeled as a comedy, there is only a handful of funny moments throughout the entire movie. It is more of a romantic movie than it is a comedy. And throw in some aspects dealing with life, finding a job, mortality, family matters, and you have "Post Grad".The cast in "Post Grad" actually did a good job. Alexis Bledel (playing Ryden Malby) was very well cast for this particular role. However, the one carrying the movie and the one with the most comedy in the entire movie was Michael Keaton (playing Walter Malby). Jane Lynch (playing Carmella Malby) was also doing a good job with her role. Right up there with Michael Keaton was Carol Burnett (playing grandma Maureen), she was just hilarious and had a very unique character to portray.This movie should appeal to young girls fresh out of college, as the movie deals with that matter, having to find a job, and dealing with the love of your life. And in that manner, I think the movie did a good job (despite it not being up my alley).I sat down to watch the movie with the assumption that it was going to be an average teenage comedy, but it was far from it. The movie is not bad, not at all, it just wasn't intended for the likes of me.
